Perfectly sums up the AI evangelist problem at large: “I want to be seen and valued as a ‘creative’ person, but I don’t actually want to learn and practice a craft. This creates a resentment that must be resolved, but without me having to do the work.”

“It’s not really enjoyable to make music now… it takes a lot of time, it takes a lot of practice, you have to get really good at an instrument or really good at a piece of production software. I think the majority of people don’t enjoy the majority of time they spend making music.” Founder of @suno_ai_ @MikeyShulman Always interesting to hear someone with a completely opposite view to me.
